New Recruit: Five Campers

Where did all the kids go? You took them to the pond, and someone said he had to go the bathroom. You turned around, and now you can't find anyone. If you really listen, you can hear someone screaming. You decide it doesn't matter, and get back to texting your friends at home.

New Recruit: Ten Campers

You've been watching kids play soccer for an hour. Or rather, not so much watching, you're just in the same area. There's another camp counselor and you're pretty sure she's got a handle on things. One kid scraped his knee, but you're confident he'll tough it out. You're just here, waiting for the day to end.

Newbie with some daycare experience: Fifteen Campers

All your activities went pretty smoothly. There was some bullying, but you managed to stop it (although there was a lot of crying). Everyone seemed to enjoy the swim lesson—everyone but Janie, but you told her if she didn't like it she could just go home. The kids all describe you as "okay," and you're, well, okay with that.

Veteran from last year: Twenty Campers

You went out of your way to make sure every student had a fun day. When Jimmy said that he didn't like art, you showed him that all of life is art. You helped him discover the gift of self-expression through toothpicks and macaroni. You think little Veronica might have a crush on you. You can't blame her, though—you're pretty great.

Veteran with three years of service: Thirty Overnight Campers

They speak about you in hushed voices. All of the other counselors want to be you. Kids attend the camp just to spend time with you. You've turned soccer into an art form. The local newspaper wrote about the talent show you directed. Kids who didn't even know what an arrow was can now hit bulls-eyes. Parents want you to tutor their kids outside of camp. You're...the...best.
